Room 311


Anita Mahon put the newspaper on the small end table and then rubbed her tired eyes. It was quiet in the room and her mind began to wonder. ' Why me' she thought as she began to ponder about her life. She had lost her job at the bank three months earlier. Her search for a new one was starting to wear on her emotions. She felt tired all the time.
Two weeks ago, she had read about a job finding conference at a local hotel. She felt deep down that she had nothing to lose by coming and giving it a try. Even though today was Thanksgiving, she felt that trying to better herself was the right thing to do.
She put on her best professional work outfit and then checked herself in the bathroom mirror. As she put her heels on, she thought about God for a moment.
' Why am I here on this earth for?' she thought as she checked herself one last time in the mirror. She did not believe in a God that she could not see. Recently, she went to a church on a dare and became curious about the Bible and a place where so called believers gathered. She decided to go to the job conference and then eat Thanksgiving turkey in her room. She turned off the bathroom light, opened the door and then closed it.
